Getting in the Christmas Spirit

Music is something that is simply magical to me and allows me to see the world in a different way. Some of my very favorite would be Christmas music, which is why I was SO excited when my new favorite artist, Francesca Battistelli, released a song for the 2009 Christmas season. All of the lyrics of songs are so beautiful, and this one is no different! 

The song is taken from Mary's perspective on the day Jesus was born. 

You're Here, Francesca Battistelli 

Hold on now, I gotta take a deep breath 
I don’t know what to say when I look in your eyes 
You made the world before I was born 
Here I am holding You in my arms tonight 

Noel, Noel 
Jesus our Emmanuel 

You’re here 
I’m holding You so near 
I’m staring into the face of my Savior 
King and Creator 
You could’ve left us on our own 
But You’re here 

Don’t know how long I’m gonna have You for 
But I’ll be watching when You change the world 
Look at Your hands, they’re still so small 
Someday You’re gonna stretch them out and save us all 

Noel, Noel, God with us Emmanuel 

You’re here, I’m holding You so near oooh oh 
I’m staring into the face of my Savior 
King and Creator 
You could’ve left us on our own 
But you’re here, you’re here 

Someday I’m gonna look back on this 
The night that God became a baby boy 
Someday You’re gonna go home again, 
But You leave your spirit and flood the world with joy 

You’ll be here, I’m holding You so near 
I’m staring into the face of my Savior, King and Creator 
You could’ve left me on my own, but you’re here… You’re here 
Hallelujah, You’re here 
Hallelujah, You’re here
